This is why I love the darkside - take a look at the detail on this on this taler. It is from Salzburg in Austria in 1682, and was a 1 year type commemorating the 1100 Year of the Bishopric. The first image is a picture from the dealer. The 2nd is from my scanner since my camera is frustrating the daylights out of me right now.
Sorry for the big pics.

Be nice to see what kind of pictures you can get with your camera instead of your scanner.
This is a real treasure.

PS: What was the technique used to mint this coin?
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." -Luke 11:9
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." -Deut. 6:4-5
"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us." -Isaiah 33:22

1jester - I am sadly ignorant in the history of coin minting, but it is an area which is intriguing me more and more. My next purchase is a coin minting book that I saw at my local coin shop. It looks like a great book covering the history of coin production, with deep detail into the techniques. I can't recall the name of it off the top of my head, so I will have to make that a future post on the forum.

Very nice coin, I've had one of that type on my list for a while but haven't come across one in the "buy" area of the nice vs. cheap curve.
